Chereads / Wolf in Ruins / Chapter 45 - Chaos’ End

Chapter 45 - Chaos’ End

Hours had passed and everyone who stood watching Fin take out his anger on Chaos had all gone back inside. The scene of the new powerful being tossing Chaos around as if he were a toy would soon become a gruesome scene. Chaos may not have a physical form now, but as the time got drug out, Fin was quickly learning his new powers. The blizzard around him had disappeared as if erased by an unknown force while he stood in the empty valley. All he could think about was what Chaos said.

""I know when my time is up… But I must say… You're being used." He smirked, death was only moments away for him. "Let me tell you something. Your so called Master that you gained power from…. Created me."" Fin remembered seeing the cruel smirk Chaos had and thoughts and doubt began to race through his mind. Had Chaos lied about not knowing who created him? Or did be o lot recently find out? So many questions continued to to flow within Fin's mind but none he had answers. He shakes his head and rubs his eyes. For now he needs to focus on rebuilding before he can believe Chaos' lies. He turns around and begins to take a long walk back to the Tower to think of where to start.

Back inside the tower, Dogma and the two elders sat in a separate room discussing what they witnessed. Dogma sat in a chair looking down. "Fin will be fine. Erasing Chaos was the best thing he could than anything else."

Estrel sat across from her in another chair. He leaned back still unsure of what he'd seen. If it were him, he would have ended it quickly but Fin had anger that was and still is, buried deep inside him.

Chib was more worried about Beril than anything else. Beril was curled up against her shaking. She could tell he sensed something eery but she wasn't quite sure what it was. "What ever that was…. It frightened Beril…" Chib said softly as she gently ran her hand down her companions back. "Elder Domnus and Elder Dara are the only Elders who actually know who he is… Yet I feel a calamity has just been born…"

"Before taking the name of Fin once more.. He was Fenrir…. The one said to bring Ragnarok and The end of the world…" Dogma said softly as she fixed her dress. "But deep down in his anger there is a soft hearted wolf who is dead set on a goal." She kept her eyes away from the two. Estrel's expressions were unchanged but Chib had been shocked. Just knowing that one that could end a world is now one of them, another creator of worlds.

No. Another Elder.

"My brother, Eaos gave up is position to create your world… And in return we gain an ally possibly stronger than Domnus." As he said this, he could feel something deep inside him regret those words.

Lifting up her right hand, Dogma watches as the endless void of her flames shift into an orb. She couldn't help but stare into the orb waiting for something to happen. In that moment though, for some reason she could feel Fin enter the Tower by himself once more but his mind slightly was clouded. "Fin has just returned to the tower." She disperses the orb and stands up, turning to the door. "I'm going to go check on the others real quick. I get the feeling Fin's going to want to leave so we can get started on rebuilding."

Estrel stands up. His pale face had been paler than usual but he shakes his head and rubs his hand through his short hair which he had parted to the side. "Very well. I'll inform Domnus and Dara on the situation." He could see Chib glance up at him. "But I think the two of us need to discuss this with the master as well."

"You'll know where to find us if the Master needs him." Dogma walks over and slightly bows to the two Elders.

"Do not bow to us. You and Fin are our new siblings." Estrel gently places his hand on her shoulder. After seeing Fin torture Chaos, his attitude had now changed toward the two new siblings. Fin was dangerous but he's still not seen what Dogma was capable of.

Dogma stands up and takes her leave heading down the infinite halls of the tower. "I fear Chaos just set something in motion that we may not be able to stop in the future…." Estrel stood there at the door as Chib tended to her companion Beril.

"I was waiting until she departed…. He didn't fight back like I thought he would've… It's like his hunt was meaningless." She looked down and caressed the back of Berils head.

Estrel turned to her. "Until we meet with the Master with Elder Dara and Elder Domnus, this stays between the two of us." His eyes looked into Chib's. She could feel the fear that was welling up within him. "Fin and Dogma will be the end to the Tower down the road. Domnus can see things… But I can sense it."

Chib nods. "I won't speak of this to any of the others. Once Beril recovers, I'll meet you on top of the tower."

"Until then I'm going to visit Nendrerth." He takes his leave as well, leaving Chib so she can help Beril. The two have a connection but not even she could uncover what it was that frightened the poor Beril to this point.

Fin had reentered the Tower and was walking in. From the outside it still looked small, but to imagine each floor was a like a world of its own made him begin to think. If there were more Celestial beings like them, how big would each floor be to house this many? He continues to make his way through the floor until he reached a cylindrical pillar going up through the floor. This must be this floors Gate? His mind now wanders back to what Chaos said but he couldn't bare the thought of focusing on that again. Then the images of his demise flashed in his eyes. It was like rewatching himself Erase Chaos again.

Even though he had no physical form, Fin was now holding Chaos by his throat. "You really think you can choke me?" The entity asked with a smile.

"I never said I was going to choke you…" His eyes began to flicker red. Fangs slowly forming in his mouth. His nails were already sharp but couldn't not pierce through. If's body began to change, his muscles ripping through his shirt. His face began to stretch into a muzzle and white fur began to grow from his body. All Chaos could do was hold the large arm of Fins Lycan like arm as he held him by the throat. Now I'm the border of his full transformation, Fin was in a Lycan state. His size had grown twice his original with more of a wolf look. "What I'm going to do is erase you from existence. This way you may never manifest." Fin's eyes were still glowing red but Chaos could see now that his name no longer suited him.

Chaos closes his eyes and releases his grip around the arm. "End me now… Watch as the Tower consumes you." Within that instant, Fin opens his massive mouth and bites down. As he tore the head, the rest of the body disintegrated into void of this world.
